I am giving up non-veg. food ..... from right now !

I was reading about dogs and other animals and the cruelities they have suffered and realised that I was also a part of it 🙁

These creatures cannot even voice their dissent and most are so loving , so beautiful .... it suddenly seemed so cruel - even evil in a way & before I knew I was crying 🙁

I hope I clear my qualifying exams in Mar. ( end ) this year so that I can adopt one , maybe more of these wonderful creatures....

Just a vent ....
 
I belong to PETA

People Eating Tasty Animals

I like dogs, not to eat though...

Cows, pigs, chicken, fish and shellfish shouldn't taste so good if they were so helpless
 
i don't eat dog so they're safe from me. i'm glad you're giving up non-veg though because that means more steak for me. 😀
 
thats good, cuz i'm giving up vegetables. You have my portion of them and i'll have your portion of meat.


mmmmm.... meat....
 
I've decided that I'm going to give up eating all members of the plant kingdom. Think about it, because it really makes sense: Plants are fellow living beings, and its awful that plants are grown throughout the world only to be cruelly yanked out of the ground and turned into food products. Plants have been exploited for tens of thousands of years by humanity, and it's time we recognized the harm we are doing to fellow living creatures. The only reason why this has been allowed to go on for so long without someone putting a stop to it is because plants unfortunately don't have a voice to speak up with and let their feelings be known. Please, everyone, do the humane thing and boycot the exploitation of plants!

That's easy then, there are millions of humans out there who have no feelings.

I'm going to go eat a puppy now.
 
Bleh. Maybe I'm not understanding the situation fully but there seems something terribly pathetic to me about a human thinking that just because they are human it means they are "too good" to eat other animals. Much of the animal kingdom (yes you are an animal) _relies_ on eating other animals. Without it humans could never have existed and evolved to where we are now. It's really just part of the food chain. Sure, many animals are mistreated as they are slaughtered and I'd like to see that fixed, but I have no moral objection whatsoever to eating meat. The vast majority/all religions also allow animal consumption.

Come on now, no you were not.
 
LOL! My wife stopped eating meat to try to lose weight after our second child was born................it lasted about 2 months. She was weak as hell, had no energy, and felt hungry all the time. Some of her friends and I convinced her to start eating meat again and she got back her energy, started working out and running again, and lost all the weight she wanted in about 3 months plus she didn't feel hungry all the time! I'm not saying go out and eat only meat, but, from my wifes expierience and a few others I've known............I think people look healthier and have more energy when they balance a diet which includes meat!

Also, if you think stopping eating meat is going to change the way some idiots treat puppies.........my.......aren't we naive today........😉
 
Are you going to Bovine University and going to marry a carrot too?
Obviously you have never heard of the "Food Chain" [picture of a man with every animal (with arrow) pointing toward it.]😛
 
I've been a vegetarian for the past couple of years. I stopped due to mainly all the health benefits associated with cutting animal products out of your diet. The ecological damage caused by the factory farming today is also immense. I've been trying to phase out dairy products as well. I will occasionally eat meat which has been killed by hunter etc. Its mainly modern inhumane farming techniques i'm opposed too. Ohh all the hormone addatives they give to cattle aren't so great for us. Bovine Growth hormone does denature at high temperatures and remains in milk and beef. This has been linked to decreasing mean age of puberty in american populations. The use of meat as food to me also seems highly inefficient to me. for one pound of beef to be made cattle must consume over 40lbs of grain.
 
Exactly, dogs are carnivores and dog food contains animal products. Are you going to force your dog to be a vegeterian too?
 
Can't imagine anyone eating my poor Dogi........ I usually ate all the usual and quite a few unusual meat, except Dog and rabbit though 🙂

I know I am an animal ....but a social animal and an evolved one !!

From where did you get the notion that man could not have evolved without non-veg. food ?? I am now inclined to seriously doubt about your intelligence !!!

If the vast majority allow something ...it does not mean that it is right .....anyway I am not even concerned about what is right or wrong .... check the time I posted ...I had just got up and that was the first thing I started reading ......it made me feel bad !!

And of course , I cried .... I dunno' why ?? But I did !! And I am 26 yrs. old and I am not ashamed of it (crying )!!!

and I still love the taste of steaks , mutton ( ever had goat's meat ?? ) , lamb , eggs , venison ( ever had that ?? ) and more ....but it seems wrong to me somehow .....jus' my opinion !!

And I know DOGS are carnivorous ...but they can survive ( with good health ) on veg. food too .... anyway they are too primitive to think about it but I am not and this is a conscious decision.....
I have a dog back home in India whom I had picked up from the streets and I would still let him have meat if he wants ...

It's just that i plan not to have it myself ....
strange reasoning ....it seems ....going from pups to dogs ...to being non-veg.
But, I don't have to be logical to everyone ......do I ??

Do you realize that most studies have shown that we evolved to our current level because we ate meat? Not eating meat just seems like going backwards, IMO.
 


<< I said it before, and I will say it again.

Vegetables are NOT food. Vegetables are what FOOD EATS! 😉 >>



hahahahahaha
 
For all of you that think that eating vegetarian you are somehow missing out on some needed nutrients, get a clue and study nutrition a bit. Eating a well balanced diet of Vegetables, fruits, nuts and grains gives you all the nutrients you need save for one, cholesterol. Drinking some milk every now and then will cover that. All you need to get a "whole" protein chain is to mix legumes and grains. For example rice and beans will provide you a complete protein. Corn and beans, tofu and rice, etc.

Eating a balanced diet will keep you in good health with energy, and without you feeling hungry all the time. Eating just vegetables, fruits, etc., without getting the right mix to give you the full protein can leave you feeling hungry.

Eating meat is not completely necessary, but getting 98% of the world to stop it because animals are being abused by it is a stretch. Most people don't care about anything other than themselves. 🙂
